what barrel?? twist?

if there is a question. i have two buddies that have taken mule deer with a .222. good hunters and extremely good marksman. i have taken 3 mule deer with a ,357 revolver. .223, i would use a factory federal 60 nosler partition. and get real close.

i would get a national forest map. i would shoot a rapid expanding bullet like a 120 nosler ballistic tip.

if your reticle looks like a Christmas tree ; just say no

i suggest a 60 nosler partition or one of the all copper ( tsx) bullets though

Desert- have you decided on ammo for your .243 for open country? what is your distance and groups size goal?

Zeke- nice looking rifle. weight is an advantage for long range leave it as is.

do you reload ? did you shoot the deer in your pic with the 7mm? i have an adl 7mm , with its factory barrel it shoots one load real real good. . the rem sendero is a great factory gun. my 7mm sendero shoots everything good. a rem 700 long range is cheaper than a sendero, but heavier too . of course weight is an advantage for long range and precision. adding a heavy krieger barrel ( fluted if you want less weight) to your current rifle is your best bet. and a good stock like a bell and carlson m40 , or an h and s precision , manners, macmillian. . that have bedding blocks. .

68-69 h-4831 and a 140. faster flatter and less wind drift. less kick.

a remington 700 long range in 25-06 or a 700 vs .243

which .243??

getting a rifle with the accuracy for 500 yard shots is a challenge.

this is a good one for elk

this is a real good one for coues.

i do not care for the 50mm objective. raises the scope too high off the barrel. then your head has to be way high off the stock or you have to install an adjustable check piece. i do like leup vx 3 scopes.

a 25-06 or a .243

what rifle? what scope??

the rifle. you did not say if you handkload. you did not say how the one you have shoots

sent a PM

i have an accurate .243 for sale.

218- are you in north phx? is the rifle a weatherby accumark?

install a leup 6.5-20 with a kenton knobb. the heavier bullets will give you less drop and wind drift after 600 yards. the lighter ones like the 87 is faster and flatter to 600 yards. ienjoy.

awesome. will the barrel fit in the stock or are you getting another?

the rifle is more important than the cartridge. for long range it takes a precision rifle, a good scope with good ammo and a skilled rifleman. i suggest a .257 weatherby accumark. or a remington sendero.

the 140's a are faster and flatter to 500-600
